Exhale

My 3rd week of school complete.
G's 2nd week.
Q's 1st week, but he was sick for half.

School-night routine set aside.
Friday evening at the park.
Catching up with friends.

Q's first long day of school.
A little too long.
He cried.
Because "Dad was gone."
Next week we'll pick up early.

He's giving up his naps.

Cleaning up dinner dishes.
Heirloom tomatoes, green beans and basil from the garden.

Hearing the football game in the distance.
Remembering when that was such a big deal.
